my new arrivals!

My triplet boys were born on 30th April by CS at 35+2 weeks. Fergus Andrew weighed 5lb 13, Isaac Steven weighed 5lb 12 and William Peter weighed 4lb 14oz. The boys spent 12 days in NICU being lazy with feeding difficulties and are now home and gaining masses of weight and doing really well.

HUGE congratulations! That is fantastic news and you have really filled me with hope by reading that you got past 35 weeks and they were such good weights - even as triplets! (I'm expecting twins and am finding it hard to get past all the doomsayers who tell me I'll prob give birth at least 6 weeks early and the babies will only be a couple of pounds each!!!) Well done you!

Wow,well done,fantastic news and great to read they are doing well.Sounds like they were fantastic weights.Hope you are ok.
2plus2more-it is true many twins are born early-but not all of them!Mine were born at 39+1 and good weights,now 4 months they are thriving.Just a little tip though,have all your essential stuff done and ready for 26/28 weeks so if they are early you are prepared and if they aren't then at least you are ready and you can relax at the end of your pregnancy because it does get very tiring and hard.
